Starting Over NATIONAL WOMEN'S EVENTS BY RUSS EWALD MEN'S EVENTS BY KAREN CROUSE STARTING OVER MONTEREY PARK, Calif.--Nine months after the Olympic Games, the nation's top swimmers returned to Los Angeles for the 1985 Phillips 66/U.S. Swimming Short Course National Championships at East Los Angeles College. Instead of competing in the modern pool at the University of Southern California in downtown Los Angeles with thousands of fans watching, the elite of U.S. swimming performed several miles east in an L.A. suburb's junior college pool before a few hundred spec- tators. Gone was the pageantry and colorful banners, the worldwide attention, the massive media covei'age. The swimmers were starting over. Ahead is the World Championships next year in Madrid and the opportunity to finally face the Communist Bloc countries that boy- cotted the 1984 Games. And further in the future is the 1988 Games in Seoul, Korea. This year there's the Pan Pacific Swimming Associa- tion meet in August in Japan featuring the leading com- petitors from the United States, Canada, Australia and the host country. But the meet apparently hasn't cap- tured the imagination of American swimmers. When asked if she was going to the Pan Pacific, Olympic double gold medalist Tiffany Cohen replied, "I'm not sure yet." The Pan Pacific team will be chosen from the USS E Long Course Nationals in early August at Mission L~ Viejo, Calif. The tangible reward from the Short Course g Championships was a trip to the Monaco Invitational in May for the top point scorers. The leading women's scorers were Cohen, Mission Viejo, 76; Michelle Griglione, unattached, 70; Juliane Golden Bear Aquatics" Matt Biondi has hurled himself into position as Brossman, Paramus, 64; Tami Bruce, Coronado, 551/2; America's newest star sprinter.

Swimming World/May 1985 55 USS NATIONALS con..ue~ Women's Events On the final night of the USS Indoors, there was a great deal of nostalgia when gold medals were presented to members of the U.S. Olympic team who swam in the morning heats of the relays. Swimming celebrities, in- cluding 1984 gold medalists Steve Lundquist and Tracy Caulkins, handed out the awards as members of the Olympic band played the same music they did for the Games' ceremonies last July in Los Angeles. However, there are several Olympians in women's swimming who haven't traded their swimsuits for the gold in public speaking appearances and endorsements. Post-Olympic blues conquered, they showed they're still the best in U.S. swimming, winning 10 of the 14 individ- ual events. The only races escaping them were the breast- strokes, where Kim Rhodenbaugh didn't appear because of college studies and Susan Rapp because of an injury, and the IMs, where all three (Caulkins, Nancy Hogshead and Sue Heon) are now retired. Tiffany Cohen headed the Olympic contingent with a triple in the distance freestyles including an American o record in the 1000. Mary T. Meagher and Betsy Mitchell "6 doubled in the butterfly and backstroke, while Jenna Michelle Griglione (left) won her first national title, winning the 400 Johnson, Dara Torres and Mary Wayte won the 50, 100 IM as she had at this year's USS International meet. Mary Wayte and 200 freestyles, respectively. repeated her Olympic 200 freestyle win with a victory at Nationals. But their level of performance wasn't near last sum- mer's. Just one American and meet record was set, and tional championships in 1981; that was in the infrequently-swum 1000 by Cohen. Al- • the 200 breaststroke and 400 IM were the second though the East Los Angeles pool is considered fast with slowest first-place times since 1977. 10 American records falling the last time the Indoors In 1977, the last year American women were coming were held there in 1979, the following lows occurred: off an Olympics, 12 national records were set. So the • the 1650, 100 breaststroke, 200 IM and 400 medley poor performances can't be traced to a post-Games let- and freestyle relays were the slowest winning times since down. However, the difference may be that in 1977 the 1977 at a short course nationals; women were more motivated to do well after winning • the 50 was the slowest since it was added to the na- only one gold medal at the 1976 Games. With the Com- munist Bloc boycott of the past Olympics, the Ameri- cans won 10 of 13 women's events. Betsy Mitchell was a redshirt at Texas this year, but at Nationals she was red hot, streaking to wins in both the 100 and 200 backstrokes. Secondly, superstars are a vanishing breed in U.S. women's swimming. With the retirement of Caulkins, Sippy Woodhead and Kim Linehan, Meagher is the only active American female swimmer to have set a world record. Cohen, who has done everything except better a world mark, extended her distance freestyle unbeaten streak at short course national meets to nine with her triple. She's now won 17 national titles. In the 1000, Tiffany tailed 1S-year-old Mission Viejo teammate Kim Brown the opening 400 before taking the lead. The two swam together until Cohen gradually pulled away the final 250 meters to win in 9:28.32, bet- tering Kim Linehan's American record of 9:29.97 set three years ago. Brown finished in 9:31.71 to become the third-fastest performer of all time. "I didn't know what the record was," said Cohen, "so I just swam my race and tried to have fun. I had a hard time getting motivated after the NCAAs." The 1000 was the only event swum on the first day of Nationals, which Tiffany said made it difficult "to get into the meet (emotionally)." o "6 She said she tried to find the clock during her race, but the sun, shining through the windows on the south 58 Swimming World/May 1985 Jenna Johnson jumped out of the 100 free (she was DQed), and was With Kim Rhodenbaugh and Susan Rapp as no-shows, Jenny Hau had touched out in the 100 fly by Mary T., but won the title in the 50 free. the chance to surprise the field of breaststrokers with a win in the 100. side of the pool, was in her eyes.

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1.

  • An Open Letter to USA Swimming and Its CEO Tim Hinchey Fix the Cause
    An Open Letter to USA Swimming and its CEO Tim Hinchey Fix the Cause of Your Sexual Abuse Epidemic, Not Just the Symptoms For decades, USA Swimming has treated the sexual abuse of minor swimmers as a “symptom” by focusing treatment on the coach. This treatment has primarily consisted of covering up for the criminal sexual behavior of its member coaches. This widespread cover up within USA Swimming has been well chronicled1. This Open Letter is demanding that Mr. Tim Hinchey, CEO of USA Swimming, fix the root cause of the sexual abuse epidemic which continues to afflict the sport of swimming. Having been deeply involved in the handling of sex abuse claims against USA Swimming for more than a decade, it is clear to us that there remains a deeply embedded culture within your organization which condones the criminal sexual behavior of coaches towards its underage athletes. This culture is similar to that of the Catholic Church, where a long-standing unofficial code enabled rampant sexual abuse by punishing those who report and rewarding those who remain silent. This must end, and it must end now. On June 10, 2020, we held a press conference to announce the filing of several new lawsuits against USA Swimming2. At that time, we asked that you, Mr. Hinchey, take immediate action against those who enabled the pervasive sex abuse within your sport. While some action was taken by you since that time with regard to a few individuals3, only one is known to have any involvement in this scandal. Further, there was nothing said or done by you to indicate these actions were taken in response to our demand to clean up the sport.
